The more teams we can eliminate from this NFC east logjam the better. If we can win our games then we have Dallas and New York coming in late in the year.
Also the eagles game in philly for us at the end of the season will probably be meaningless for the eagles. If the eagles have nothing to play for then mcnabb will have surgery and not even play against us. If we can't beat the eagles when they don't have mcnabb and they are out of it then we aren't a playoff team.
So let the giants and cowboys stay a game ahead of us for awhile. If we take care of business we have the home games against both of them.
If Philly won tonight we would have had a logjam in the nfc east. Now philly is 0-3 in east play and they are probably about done. If they won they would have a very favorable schedule from here on out. But this 1 game will probably do them in and let's face it they were the team to beat in the east for awhile. It's better that they are out of it and now we can focus on NY and Dallas.

yeah as long as we beat Dallas and giants at home we have no problem but that ain't easy. Dallas and gints play each other so one team will be out of our way if we beat them both.
